Configuring Parental Control settings: control levels and reports
Control levels
Kaspersky Lab specialists have developed three preset control levels (or profiles):
► Data collection;
► Child profile;
► Teenager profile.
You can use either a preset profile or customize a control level by selecting Custom
restrictions.
Each profile has a set of restrictions and settings:
► Data collection. For this profile the program logs the statistics of the user activity on
the computer and on the Internet but does not apply Parental Control restrictions.
► "Child" profile.. The program logs the statistics of the user activity on the computer
and on the Internet, and blocks file downloads and visits to websites belonging to
unwanted categories.
► "Teenager” profile. The program logs the statistics of the user activity on the
compute and on the Internet, and blocks visits to websites belonging to unwanted
categories.
In order to set a profile for a user account registered on the computer, perform the following
actions:
1. In the Parental Control window in the Computer Users section select a user account
and click the Select control level button.
